Four associated partners join the CampusOS project to foster innovations in 5G Campus networks
The national lead project CampusOS pursues the approach of creating tailor-made campus networks for industrial applications through open and interoperable network components. This includes the development of the necessary reference architectures and blueprints, the creation of end-to-end test infrastructures and the analysis and development of viable and new operator models. In addition, selected scenarios will be tested in an industrial environment in which 5G campus networks play a particularly important role.
In the project, a technology construction kit will be realized, which contains a component catalog and blueprints for 5G campus networks and is supplemented by proposals for various and novel operator models.
Based on network virtualization, which is supplemented by artificial intelligence and machine learning, functionalities of the radio access network (RAN), the core network (CORE) and network management and orchestration (MANO) are combined to create a modular and secure 5G campus network. The Fraunhofer Institutes FOKUS and HHI in Berlin have set up reference test fields to test HW and SW components in end-to-end configurations. This also includes components from the entire CampusOS ecosystem.
A total of 22 partners from industry and research are involved in the CampusOS project. In addition, CampusOS is complemented by six satellite projects that aim to develop further sector-specific solutions for 5G campus networks in the application areas of intelligent hospitals, disaster control and fire departments, industry, logistics and robotics as well as shipyards and shipbuilding.
The CampusOS consortium will be continuously expanded to include associated partners in order to drive the project's developments forward. The aim is to pool expertise and support the development of the ecosystem. Fields of cooperation are e.g. contributions to the development and design of reference architectures for open and modular campus networks, extensions of the technology toolbox, integration of hardware and software components, and refinements of operator models.
The first phase with the following four new partners has been successfully completed:
